A replica of Alexander Fleming's Nobel Medal

I explained that Fleming and Thomson had served in the same Royal Army Medical Corps Research Unit in France in the 1914-18 war. They had become friends and their friendship continued after the war. WWD Thomson became Professor of Medicine in Queen’s University, Belfast. He became very ill and was treated in a Nursing Home in London. The Flemings befriended Mrs Thomson who, having gone to London to be with her husband, was alone in a strange city. Also because of the friendship Fleming gave his first lecture on Penicillin outside London to the Ulster Medical Society when he was the Robert Campbell Orator in 1944. He also addressed the Belfast Medical Students Association in the Great Hall Medical History
